Puig subgroup

Characteristic subgroup in mathematical finite group theory


Characteristic subgroup in mathematical finite group theory

In finite group theory, a branch of mathematics, the Puig subgroup, introduced by , is a characteristic subgroup of a p-group analogous to the Thompson subgroup.

Definition

If H is a subgroup of a group G, then L**G(H) is the subgroup of G generated by the abelian subgroups normalized by H.

The subgroups Ln of G are defined recursively by

  • L0 is the trivial subgroup
  • L**n+1 = L**G(L**n) They have the property that
  • L0 ⊆ L2 ⊆ L4... ⊆ ...L5 ⊆ L3 ⊆ L1

The Puig subgroup L(G) is the intersection of the subgroups L**n for n odd, and the subgroup L*(G) is the union of the subgroups L**n for n even.

Properties

Puig proved that if G is a (solvable) group of odd order, p is a prime, and S is a Sylow p-subgroup of G, and the **-core of G is trivial, then the center Z(L(S)) of the Puig subgroup of S is a normal subgroup of G.
